Abstract:

Using 115 SSR markers and the F2 population consisting of 348 lines derived from the cross between maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines R08 and Es40, a genetic linkage map associated with the resistance to silk cut was constructed. The genetic linkage map covered 2 178.6 cM of maize genome with an average mapping distance of 18.9 cM. Using the composite interval mapping (CIM) method, 12 QTLs controlling the resistance to silk cut were detected on chromosomes 1, 2, 4, 5, and 7. These QTLs explained phenotypic variances ranging from 4.22% to 37.95%. Among them, two major QTLs on chromosomes 1 and 3, which explained more than 30% of phenotypic variances, had dominance effect, whereas, the other 10 QTLs had partial dominance effect or additive effect.

Key words: Maize(Zea mays L.), Silk-cut, QTL mapping, Genetic linkage map, SSR
